What if Brad Jones racks up 8 tackles, 2 sacks and tips a pass? Do we continue to start him over Kampman?

Absolutely. We need a pass rush, and if he can bring the heat there's no reason not to keep rolling with him.

I'd certainly think he'd get more playing time but not supplant Kampman as the starter. Kampman makes too much money and sadly this organization honors financial agreements to players with starting time.

Which players do you think get more starting time because of bigger contracts? I've heard that said about Ryan Grant, but I'm not sure if I buy it. I think it is more likely that McCarthy wants to get Grant and the O-line in synch by maximizing their work together. Regardless of the reason, it obviously hasn't worked that well.

Some people think that A.J. Hawk gets more playing time because of his contract, but I'm not sure about that one either. I think he is much more assignment-sure than Desmond Bishop. This year, Brandon Chillar has taken a lot of playing time away from Hawk, even though Chillar earns less money.

I think if Jones plays great he will split time with Kampman, and if he keeps playing great he will get more and more playing time. That's what happened with Clay Matthews vs. Brady Poppinga. I think most coaches would be reluctant to replace an established starter because his injury replacement has one good game.

This is all hypothetical, of course. I'm not expecting much from Jones. I expect the Cowboys to run the ball to his side a lot, probably with success.

No, the only time Kampy has been a true liability in pass coverage (IMO) was last week, and dude had a concussion!

I don't think it's so much players start because of money as it is the inability of the coaching staff to change their minds about "best option."

I mean, could there not have been an argument about replacing _either_ Barbre _or_ Clifton with Lang before this? How long did it take Chillar to get more reps? What about Wynn over both Lumpkin and Sutton?

And lets not forget the ever popular with the coaches Jarrett Bush.

Brad played a solid game.. a little to aggressive early.. but he gave some pressure from the edge and played pretty solid in coverage.. I love the fact Whitten was almost silent today..

It was multiple players.. I seen Jones on him a couple of times.. notice that Woodson replaced Hawk a high share of snaps.. playing about 8 yards off the LOS as a Butler type.. think that had a good share to do with Whitten be quite as well.. until late we own their receivers and TE's...

Brad Jones should definitely play in obvious passing situations.

dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .
